Designing a Baby Shower Centerpiece

Part of preparing for a baby shower party is planning for the theme and other decorations that will spice up the venue of the event. Baby shower themes are a good way to start with when preparing for a memorable event such as a baby shower.

When it comes to decorations especially for the ones that you make as a centerpiece, it is more fun and less bothersome working with themes to find decorative pieces that will make the place look good because all you need is to coordinate these decorative elements with the theme.

Baby Stuff As Centerpieces

There are a lot of good ideas when finding the right centerpiece for your tables and shelves when hosting a baby shower party. Usually, baby things are being utilized as they add up the babyish atmosphere in the place and not only that, they are less expensive than other kinds of centerpieces.

Mostly, for mothers to be who already have older children, these baby things include old baby bottles, empty jars of baby food and other baby utensils that have been set aside for possible future use.

With just a little touch of creativity, these baby things can turn into wonderful centerpieces especially if you are going through tight budget because it does not necessarily mean that the preparations and decorations should be expensive anyway. As long as the baby things are still in good condition, they are good to go. Here are a few good ideas for baby shower centerpieces that might help you in making your own.

Candles In Empty Jars

Empty jars of baby food mostly come in little pieces. To add a touch of creativity, put a little candle in it and wrap up the jars with pretty ribbons or crepe paper to match the color or theme of the party. Apart from the added effect to the lighting of the place, it also sets a relaxing and elegant mood for the guests.

This is a good idea for an elegantly themed baby shower. Put the candles in the center of the table or perhaps, on shelves around the house or even along the pathway leading your guests inside the venue.

However, this centerpiece trick entails added caution so that you will not end up burning the place. See to it that the candles are placed secured and most especially out of reach of children.

Jellybeans In Empty Jars And Bottles

For a more bright and colorful theme, you can place jellybeans, gummy candies and other food delights inside empty jars and old baby bottles. Place a good amount of these empty jars and bottles on every table or shelf to add a vibrant and lively look.

Apart from being wonderful centerpieces, they can also become party souvenirs. As the guests leave, they can always have a grab of that little empty jar in the tables so that they will have something to remind them of this great party.

Simple Glassware With Baby Toys

You do not really have to buy new ones to make simple glassware baby shower centerpieces. Perhaps, a bowl you already have that is large enough to hold a few baby toys will look pretty in the center of your tables and on your shelves.

It saves you both time and money in doing this centerpiece. All you need is a couple of baby toys, little ones are preferable, and stack them up in this bowl and there you go a nice centerpiece perfect for your baby shower party!

You might also want to try putting water in these bowls and have little floating toy ducks in it. A really excellent centerpiece if you are working with a ducky theme.

Conventional Ideas Still Work

If you want to stick with the traditional centerpiece, a lot of options are available and yes, they still work well in your tables and shelves. If you feel like you want a garden theme, you can always find a pretty basket or a plastic dish and look for a bunch of flowers to complete the centerpiece look. Balloons as well can serve as good centerpieces. Choose colors that best match the theme. Usually, pink for girls and blue for boys.

It's always fun to experiment on your centerpieces, the possibilities are endless!
